Episode 188: Breaking Down The Menstrual Cycle with Kate Morton

The Yours Chewly Podcast

Dear listener, Join me this month as I chat with special guest Kate Morton! Kate is a Registered Dietitian, the founder of Funk It Wellness, a SXSW speaker, and menstrual health advocate. After studying to become an RD, Kate moved to New Zealand where she began working with wellness start-ups to develop nutritionally sound products in the “better for you” market. While in New Zealand, Kate started to presume a more holistic way of living that led her to dive deeper into the science of hormones and cyclical living. Kate’s mission is to empower all menstruators to have autonomy over their bodies and learn to make peace with food and their cycles. In this conversation, we break down the four phases of the menstrual cycle (and what you need to know about each), discuss the negative impact that restrictive diets can have on hormonal health, and share general tips to help you navigate your nutritional needs throughout different phases of your cycle. To learn more about Kate you can find her on Instagram (@carbsandkate and @funkitwellness), check out her Period Chats Podcast, sign up for her monthly hormone newsletter, or visit her Funk It Wellness website (https://funkitwellness.com/)!
